[CMake] Problem building fortran project on Windows using Intel Fortran 10 compiler

[Dunlavy, Daniel M]

I have tried all of the great suggestions on this list and I still have
the same problems. As I mentioned before, I have tried to configure the
Cmake Fortran test and get the same errors. I really think these errors
are path related, as the specific error states that the Fortran
libraries cannot be found when linking. Is anyone using Intel Fortran
10.0 and have had to do something path related in order for Cmake to
work properly?

I have tracked one problem down, finally, to a path issue. Because of
the space in the name of the library path, the path is split when it is
added to the link line:

ifort.exe /nologo /W1 testFortranCompiler.obj /FecmTryCompileExec.exe
-link /INCREMENTAL:YES /subsystem:console -LIBPATH:c:\Program
-LIBPATH:Files\Intel\Compiler\Fortran\10.0.025\IA32\Lib user32.lib

I have tried to re-install the Intel Fortran Compiler in a directory
without spaces, but it always resorts to installing in the same
directory: C:\Program Files\Intel\... I have tried to move the files,
but there must be something in the compiler setup that points to the
original directory, because it keeps choosing that directory for the
argument of -LIBPATH: in Cmake (even when the directory is gone).

Does anyone know of a workaround for handling library paths (or paths in
general) containing spaces on Windows? Can this be handled in one of the
Fortran modules (CMakeTestFortranCompiler.cmake or
Platform\Windows-ifort.cmake or some other)?

Thanks,
Danny
